Seismic isolation construction involves the loosening of the link between a building and its foundation. The benefit of this style of construction is the modification of a building's dynamic properties and the lowering of an earthquake's devastating effects on a structure. It has been tested for nearly three decades and is currently in use in more than 300 apartment buildings worldwide. The benefits associated with this method of construction are simplicity, low cost and reliability. There were conducted more than 20 tests for real buildings and those buildings are currently in use. People trusted their lives to these protection systems. Capability to protect buildings from damages, which may occur during earthquakes with different intensity and duration, has been achieved due to unlined elastic characteristics of kinematics foundations while shifting.

The problem with this is that earthquakes don't just move side-to-side. They make waves like in water.
